If there is one attribute that I would say contributes to success in early recovery it is patience. Cultivate it.

It's going to take more than four days to undo the damage of your years of drinking and subsequent relapse. It's the alcoholic's/addict's need for instant gratification that prompts so many relapses. Solid recovery takes time.

Stay strong.
